Inspiring blog - Beads for Brains: 365

Interesting and inspiring blog - "Beads for Brains: 365".

In this beading project she teaches herself a stich or a pattern every day, 365 of them.
Worth checking the blog - lots of free patterns and tutorials.

Jan Huling - Amazing bead artist

Oh my god!! This was my reaction when I found Jan Huling's beading art in the internet.


You must, really must visit her site.


This is what "ART PUNCTUATE" writes about Jan's art: "..Jan’s designs are so intricate and well designed, with a seemingly perfect placement of every single bead".... 

 No more words...Just Waaaooo. Amazing

את האתר של ג'ן היולינג מצאתי במקרה או שלא במקרה. כידוע, מדובר כאן, כבר ציינתי זאת מספר פעמים, בגולשת כפייתית ברשת (אני.), בעלת פטנטים למצוא את האתרים המעניינים והמדהימים של אמנים בתחום החרוזים.
כאן אי אפשר היה להתאפק. שמעתי את עצמי אומרת וואאאוו!!! וידעתי שחובתי לשתף.
אז תיכנסו לג'ן היולינג.קום 
אין יותר מה להוסיף וכל המוסיף גורע. 

FREE SIMPLE AND BEAUTIFUL PATTERN for the beginner


Flat spiral stitch earing tutorial by My Amari. 



THIS TUTORIAL is one of many in "MY AMARY" blog. They are simple and basic for the beginner. 
עגילים חמודים ופשוטים לעשיה. למתחיל / ה בתחום החריזה.
באתר הנחיות בסיסיות נוספות.
למתקדמים - אין מה לחפש שם, לעומת זאת נראה לי שלמתחילים כדאי להיכנס ולהתנסות. 
ההנחיות לדעתי בסיסיות מאד, אולי בסיסיות מדי ולכן אין בהם הרבה ערך מוסף. אבל את העגילים האלה אהבתי..

FREEFORM CUFFS

חריזה שאינה בדיוק על פי הכללים. זו ש"מתפרעת" מסיבה זו או אחרת - יוצרת לעיתים אי שקט פנימי, לעיתים נותנת תחושה נפלאה של הרמוניה. הכללים - כשל עבודות אמנות אחרות, בכל מדיה. האמן אמור "לחוש" את המרחב ולשמור על שיווי משקל. (האונה הימנית, חברים... האונה הימנית..)
צירפתי מספר עבודות מקסימות שמצאתי באינטרנט, שונות לחלוטין זו מזו, שיווי המשקל שונה, אבל קיים. לפעמים בשקט ובשלווה (lunn Manning) ולפעמים ב"רעש וצלצולים (Marylou Holvenstot) .
העבודה של Jean Hutter מקסימה בעיני. כמו גלים של ים.. הרמוניה נפלאה, ומעניינת. 
מתעתדת מתי שהוא אף לחרוז משהו משלי. כבר ניסיתי פעם.. ויצא איום ונורא :) העבודה שחרזתי הזכירה לי סריגה של של בני שביצע באדיקות בגיל 6. משהו שאי אפשר לתאר במילה אחת, ואולי אי אפשר לתאר בכלל. מן צינור ארוך של קשרים שמשנה זוית ועובי..
אנסה שוב לבצע עבודה מהסוג הזה, FREE FORM BEADING . מי יודע אולי אצליח יותר. צריך לשמור על אופטימיות..

Free form cuffs - must be fun to make. I hope to make one soon. I tried to make a free form cuff in the past.. it was a mess.. :( I hope to be more successful this time.

These are beautiful hamonic cuffs. Looking at them again and again, finding every time something new to look at...

BEADING ARTIST - KATE BOYAN

As you know beading art can be breath taking and inspiring.
I came across this amazing embriodery beaded art while searching the internet for new beading stuff.
As usual, every time I find myself amazed... the WAOOOO experience.. I share it with you. 


KATE BOYAN is the artist. She creates bead art for the last 35 years.
Did I mention that she lives in Alaska??? 


Every piece that she shows in her blog "Kate Boyan's Gallery"  is amazing, tells a story. Her work is quiet but as you keep looking at it, it enters your soul. You can feel the atmosphere, almost smell it...

Amazing!! Isn't it?

Unusual interesting Beading Challenge - April 2012



Dear beaders, 
As every week, looking for beading challenges, I found this interesting and unusual challenge in JEANNIE'S BLOG


It is called "Do Over". The rules are simple: You get from Jeannie a Do Over challenge piece, which is an old, boring piece of jewelry, and your challenge is to turn it into something beautiful and amazing.
You can find 3rd Do Over Challenge in Jeannie's blog. 
Be aware to post the "before" and "after" pieces on Tuesday, April 24th. 
Looks to me as a great idea to challenge yourself with someon else's piece. It makes you creative and sharpen your skills. 
I like this challenge, I think it is worth trying at least once. 

As you know, challenging ourselves as artists is important for personal grouth. This is why I share the challenges I find in the internet with you. I share those that I find interesting. I participate in some and write about it in MY BLOG. You are welcome to enter and read about my personal beadwork journal. 
Comments are welcome.

A giveaway and something about French beading blogers..

I wanted to let you know about the Blog Anniversary Giveaway
Manya,a talented artist from Romania is celebrating her 200th post by giving away two pendants.
Click on the photo and see for yourself. The pendants are lovely. All you have to do is leave a comment, until midnight the 10th of March. Good luck.



And now about the French beaders..I do not know what you think about the French designers.. But every time I am in Paris I admire the French fasion and elegant taste. It is so different from where I come from. 
I found some French beading bloggers. Here are some photos. You can click on them to see the blogs. They are in French of course but even if you do not understand the language the jewelry speak for themselves. 








Am I  right or am I right?? :-)

Artists that use beads - in Etsy

Here are some works of art that involve beads. I found them in ETSY.
You can click on the photos and visit other beautiful works by the same artists.
By Wire Art Ink

   
By Messie Jessi

By Pupinka

And last but not least:
By The Lone Beader

אחד הדברים האהובים עלי הוא "שוטטות" בחנויות ETSY. יש שם דברים מדהימים. מכיוון שחרוזים הם הנושא האהוב עלי, בלשון המעטה :) אני כמובן מחפשת כל מה שמערב חרוזים.
הבוקר שוטטתי בחנויות של אמנים המשתמשים בחרוזים, מי יותר, מי פחות. אתם יכולים כמובן להקליק על הצילום ולהגיע לחנות עצמה. 
גלישה נעימה!!

Mikki Ferrugiaro - Free tutorial

Mikki Ferrugiaro is a British artist. I came across a free tutorial of hers. A very simple tutorial. Nevertheless, I thought it is worth sharing it with you. She calls it: Crystal Corners Tila Bead stich. 


I find her work unusual and creative. 


She has more tutorials in her Artfire studio. In my opinion, it is worth visiting :-)

Unique in ETSY

Today, as I usually do lately in the mornings with my coffee, I surfed the internet looking for unique beaded art. This is what I found In "Etsy" searching "beads". You can click the photos to find more about the artists and their work. 





 






בבוקר, עם הקפה, כשאין לי עדיין את הכח והחשק לעשות משהו "רציני", אני גולשת באינטרנט עם האייפד ומחפשת יצירות מעניינות, מדהימות, מיוחדות, יצירתיות.. זה הכיף שלי. לשמחתי, יש לי את ההזדמנות לחלק אתכם כאן בבלוג הזה את תוצאות החיפוש. 
אלה כמה מהיצירות שמצאתי ב"Etsy". בעיני, מיוחדות ולא סטנדרטיות. 
אם תקליקו על התמונה תוכלו להתחבר לחנויות של האמנים האלה ולראות יצירות נוספות שלהם.
אני בטוחה שגם יצירות שאינן לשם האמנות בלבד יכולות להוות השראה. להתפעל וללמוד..
